Control system saves compressed air costs

Edited by the Printingtalk editorial team Jul 2, 2010

The Airsaver control unit developed by Beckair is a compressed air control device designed to switch off the air supply when it is not needed.

Beckair said that any waste of compressed air is eliminated, which lowers energy consumption and cost.

It has timed functions that combine to give supply on demand operation.

The air supply stops when a gap occurs in the containers on a conveyor or when a container stops in front of the sensor.

The stop signal can be delayed to allow the last container to pass through a machine by means of an adjustable timer.

The Airsaver can be used with a variety of sensors.

Start up is claimed to be instantaneous once a moving object is sensed again.

One Airsaver unit can operate up to three valves.

The sensor unit operates from a 24v DC supply and a power supply can be provided with options for both 110v and 230v AC.

Beckair claimed that the payback time for the Airsaver control unit is typically within two to three months of use.

It can be mounted onto existing installations and is protected to IP65, so it can be used in most environments.
